Let’s make this easy:
I think my block program knows me for what I just show in the classroom, and not on a deeper level where you would actually understand who I really am, and now I am here to show it. My name is Reamroatha Richard Moeun, and I’ve lived here in NYC for all my life. It’s something about being raised in the city, more specifically, The Bronx. Living under the roof of a single parent, I have to accept responsibilities to take care of what I have, and hold on to even the small things. This drives to to focus hard in school, and to focus hard at work. All in all, I am simply a hard worker. But by no means I am a stiff and boring person, I actually am very social. I enjoy meeting new people everyday. You never know if the person sitting next to you will be there for the next twenty or so years, it’s best to do things now.
I believe that we have so much to do in such a short lifespan. There is a whole world out there, and we live in such a small vessel that can only go so far. So we do what we can do, and this is why I try to enjoy life for every single moment it is. I think my biggest regret is staying in New York City to be honest. I know that this city has everything to offer, but what else is out there? I’m curious. I went to PS MS 20 for middle school, John F. Kennedy for high school, and now Baruch College for college. But this doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy my next four years, it simply means that I need to work harder to see what else is out there.
I’ve been rambling on about life theories, and etc. But who am I? I’m simply your average Cambodian that enjoys hanging out, playing guitar, and doing the usual things this generation does (The positive things). I don’t think I have any concerns for my freshman year, these past few weeks, I’ve integrated into the culture of Baruch, and I am used to how things flow. It is very different from my high school experience; I feel much more independent, and I can actually relax and have time to myself before my next class. The work is harder, but it is manageable if you have good time management skills. Getting to know people is much more on your own initiative, unlike high school where you see the same faces everyday.
My first year of college has changed me already. Honestly, I can’t stand high school students anymore =p Being on the train with them is a drag, and I’ve become much more mentally mature, much more independent, and much more socially active.
I look forward to the rest of my year; Already I am getting to know my block program. Full of good people =]
